Ironically, I want an ad-blocker that hides all GDPR consent popovers, cookie warnings, etc. They are constant annoyance, especially on mobile. Also a browser that automatically uses a VPN when an American news site blocks European IPs.
- beojan 8y agoSo do I. Specifically, I want to block the consent popovers and refuse consent for all but the necessary cookies and tracking. I think the EU missed a trick by not making Do Not Track legally enforceable.
- Rjevski 8y agoCookie "warnings" and forced "consent" popups (with no or difficult opt-out) are not GDPR compliant. GDPR mandates that all tracking and related bullshit should be opt-in. So the annoyance isn't the GDPR, it's the lack of enforcement of it that allow shit websites to get away with not being compliant.
- Vinnl 8y agoThat would be fantastic, at least for sites that comply with the GDPR - they don't get to bug me, and since I also don't explicitly opt-in, they also don't get to track me.
